Description

Warning method of reverse driving

The present invention relates to a traffic alert method, and more particularly to a method of alerting reverse traffic.

Vehicle drivers who violate the regulations, such as red lights, reverse driving, lack of safe driving distance, and speeding, often cause traffic accidents. However, sometimes because the driver is not familiar with the road conditions, or the night or rainy days are not good, it may also cause irreparable consequences due to temporary negligence.

For example, at large crossroads on major urban trunk roads, traffic conditions are more complex than general road sections. For example, because the road surface is wider than the general road or there are many lanes, the vehicle that turns left into the main trunk road by the branch line may mistakenly enter the opposite lane and cause reverse driving when it has not reached the lane of the compliance direction; or In the case of a one-way street or a lane reduction due to engineering, the above-mentioned reverse driving is more likely to occur. At this time, if the line of sight is bad at night or in rainy days, it is very easy to cause a collision with the forward-facing vehicle, and the consequences are unimaginable.

The current traffic sign indicates that the one-way street is prohibited from entering the signboard with a round, or the white arrow on the blue background is indicated for the direction of the vehicle, for example, a round blue background at the central dividing island of the intersection. The right slanting down arrow indicates "going to the right"; however, the above-mentioned signs are sometimes not visible in time because of the driver's blind spot or the distance, so that there is an incident of traffic accidents caused by reverse driving.

Therefore, there is a need for a method of warning against reverse driving to avoid traffic accidents caused by blind spots or unclear signs.
